The rear camera does not perform upto expectation in low light (without flash)> Though the pictures are good , but compared to the price paid , the images could have come out better.

In low light , good amount of noise can be easily spotted in the images. Xiaomi has confirmed that this would be fixed with the future software updates.

Battery

Though the on paper specs is only 3000mAh , but this battery simply outperforms any other phone in this segment. It lasts around 30 hours with moderate to heavy usage. (battery test pictures below)

Quick Charge 3.0

Overall / UI

A big thumbs up for this minimalistic and colourful UI. MIUI has a themes store , where you can heavily customise the way your phone looks.

MIUI has regular updates

Speakers:

Though there are 2 visible side firing speakers , only one of them is for the audio output . The second one is just there for symmetry. This is really not cool . At this price point , a dual speakers could have been used.

However the sound from the single speaker is pretty loud , and the quality is very nice.

Overall Value for Money : 7.5 / 10

Final Comments

This device is a clear winner in case of performance at it uses the latest flagship Snapdragon 820 Kyro processor and the rear camera with 4 axis OIS is the USP. Gaming experience is awesome, due to the 3GB RAM and Adreno 530 GPU. Though these extra elite features are a bang for its price , i believe this device would be a huge success if it was priced around the 18-20k segment , as there are other players who are entering this segment with similar features.If you are looking for a superior camera and great overall experience , go for this device.
